Go to any sales training (I've been through a ton of them) and you will be inundated with the same old stuff.
The Ben Franklin close, the sharp angle close, the take-away, distraction techniques...
A lot of that stuff worked well in the 70s, 80s, and even the 90s, but today's audiences are more sophisticated, more cynical and less trusting today than ever before.
So how do we get through to people whose shields are always "up"?
Money demands attention on money.
It’s often said that if you do what you love, the money will come. That’s somewhat true.
If you do what you love, opportunities for money will be abundant. However, if you avoid focusing on money at all, you’ll likely end up fulfilled and broke.
Is that true...?
“The recession.”
Those words are ominous, aren’t they?
It seems that every time an election comes up where it looks like the non-incumbent party will win, we are in a “recession.”
We had the Carter/Reagan recession. The Bush/Clinton recession. The Clinton/Bush recession. And now the Bush/???? “recession.” And each blames it on the other.
It’s all so politically convenient.
It’s all so damning.
But, who is it that decides that we’re recessing?
Wouldn’t it be great to own a crystal ball?
I mean, what if you could look into a crystal ball and predict the way people would react in these situations:
Of course, everyone knows that crystal balls don’t exist, right? Or do they…
For the rest of your life, just pretend you are magnificent and limitless, then, while you’re doing that, pretend you’re not pretending.
When you are as sure of your unlimitedness as I am, a universe of pure potential will unfold before you.
One person posted on facebook last night, “Swine Flu now a pandemic.”
The definition of a pandemic, according to wikipedia is, “an epidemic of infectious disease that spreads through populations across a large region.”
65 US cases of the flu out of 303M+ hardly seems to be epidemic. And it has to be epidemic before it can be pandemic, by definition.
Here’s Congressman Ron Paul – who is also a physician – spoke about this issue. Now I like Ron Paul’s case, but the argument can be made even more relevant. This took me less than ten minutes of research:
Wait, Submo-what?!?
Yeah, NLP is big on jargon, I know.
It’s a big, fancy word, but what if you could use this tool to totally motivate yourself, instantly dislike tempting foods, obliterate bad habits, and change negative self-beliefs into powerful, positive beliefs?
Would you be willing to put up with a little jargon? Good.
One thing we know from NLP is that we experience the world through our five senses: vision, hearing, feeling, smell and taste.
We then take those external signals and convert them into internal thoughts made up of only six things: pictures, sounds, feelings, smells, tastes and self-talk, all of which we can either remember or make up. These are called our “modalities.” They’re the “channels” we think in.
People are always surprised when I tell them I’m a hypnotist.
It starts with a twinkle in their eye, then a curiosity builds. Sometimes they put up their fingers in the sign of a cross and jokingly say, “Don’t look at me!”
But mostly, people wonder what the limits really are. Is it just for fun? Can it be used to hurt people? Isn’t it all just in your mind?
All good questions, but let’s look at the last...
When people ask me what hypnosis can be used for, I have a hard time pinning it down, because it can literally be used in all areas of life.
It can be used for everything from smoking to weightloss, nail biting to fears, and can even be effective for improving your performance on a hobby.
In fact, when I think about the benefits of hypnosis, I'm often reminded of the story of Houdini, the greatest escape-artist of all time.
Houdini was famous for being able to pick any lock in the world. In fact, he had a standing challenge to anyone that could make a lock that he couldn't pick...
“Growth,” is commonly thought to be the integration of lessons learned.
That is sometimes the case, but growth like that is often reactionary. We only grow to meet the environment around us.
True growth – personal growth on an exponential level – often only happens when we UNlearn.
Think back to when you were a child of, perhaps, five or six, or maybe ten or twelve years old...
